Tags gmail and google-apps-email refer to the same thing as the email service management features like DNS record management, email routing are out of scope in Web Applications.
It's worth to say that both tags were used together in several questions. There are 85 questions double tagged this way while there are 159 questions with google-apps-email tag Vs. 2591 questions with gmail tag
As a Web Application there are very few differences but most of them doesn't change the UI or the change have minimum impact and it's explained in the Gmail Help so in for both tags the source form many questions is the same.
